[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

In recent years, St. John’s wort has been studied extensively as a treatment for depression. Most studies show that St. John’s wort may help treat mild-to-moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants.

I got this recipe here:

https://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/crunchy-pumpkin-cookies-recipe/1/print/

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 1/3 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans

Heat oven to 350º. Mix brown sugar, margarine and shortening in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and egg. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in pumpkin seeds.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire rack.

I used Splenda brown sugar blend. I think that it definitely affected the way these cookies came out. They are GOOD, but they are NOT crunchy. I may try these again using (real) brown sugar and see how they are.
